by Matt Arnold

Shopping not done?  Well, if you're trying to get something shipped, you're about out of options.  The Post Office is backed up big time right now.  Need an easy gift idea for friends and family for this holiday?  Restaurant gift cards are a great choice – you can treat your loved ones to their favorite food, they're easy to buy and ship (or send digitally), and there are a ton of great deals on them for the shopping season!  At many restaurants, you can get a gift card at a reduced price, say a card worth $50 for only $40, or more commonly restaurants will give out “Bonus” cards, like an extra $10 card with a $50 gift card purchase.  You can make it part of the gift, or keep it and treat yourself!

EatDrinkDeals includes links to restaurant websites where you can confirm the deal and find further information.  We won't post deals that we can't verify from a source such as the restaurant website, social media account, or press release.  The restaurants have been slow to push these gift card deals out this year, but we expect it to pick up soon, so be patient and check back later if your favorite spots don't have a good deal yet.

Email us at editor@eatdrinkdeals.com if we've missed any!
